❤ What is Heart Failure? ❤
Heart failure doesn't mean your heart has stopped working. It means the heart has become weaker or stiffer and can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs. Over time, this can make everyday activities more difficult and lead to serious health complications if left untreated.

According to the American Heart Association, 6.7 million U.S. adults are living with heart failure. Early diagnosis and treatment can help people live longer, healthier lives.

At HeartSense, we believe education and early detection are essential to protecting heart health. Stay tuned to learn more about common symptoms, risk factors and treatment options.

What Is Atrial Fibrillation?
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is an irregular, often rapid heart rhythm that occurs when the upper chambers of the heart beat out of sync with the lower chambers. Instead of a steady heartbeat, the heart may quiver or beat irregularly. Detecting AFib early can help prevent serious complications, including stroke.

Some people with AFib experience symptoms, while others may not notice any signs at all.

Common warning signs of AFib include:
❤️ An irregular or fluttering heartbeat
💓 A racing heartbeat, even at rest
⚠️ Chest discomfort or pressure

Men with AFib are often more likely to notice heart palpitations, a racing heartbeat, or reduced exercise tolerance. These symptoms are sometimes dismissed as stress, aging, or simply being out of shape, but they may be signs that your heart needs attention.

The good news? AFib can often be managed successfully when detected early.

Stay tuned throughout Men’s Health Month as we share more information about atrial fibrillation, including risk factors, treatment options, and steps you can take to protect your heart health.
